The airwaves are a public asset. No corporation should be able to dictate how those assets are used. They purchased the right to provide services as a utility would and should not be permitted to be the arbiter of the distribution of that service to the benefit/detriment of their partners.

Image if the water company cut deals so some businesses had enough to operate while other - smaller - companies did not. It would be politically impossible. Yet with wireless bandwidth Google thinks we should be cool with it.

I accept the argument that bandwidth 'over the air' is limited and so - like any other limited resource - higher consumption should carry a higher cost but there should be no 'backroom deals' between anyone.

"Second, because wireless networks employ airwaves, rather than wires, and share constrained capacity among many users, these carriers need to manage their networks more actively"

So, to repeat:

What!? And the broadband cable loop that my home and neighboring homes are on isn't a shared capacity? Would someone tell my broadband provider to stop sending those "you are using XX% more than other customers in your area and affecting there services" letters then?

Sure, there may be more mobile phones hitting the local cell towers but what are the chances those devices are running torrent downloads like the neighbor's kids are on our local wire loop?

They are still limited to that area for each band. Once they deploy all of their non-overlapping bands on a tower, they can no longer increase bandwidth. If an apartment complex were to go up next to the tower when they were near capacity from residents at the neighboring complex there is no way to increase the bandwidth in the area, since spectrum is finite. For the cable company, they just lay more lines leading to the new building.

I can't disagree there. That was also part of my point. Not just my provider but pretty much all the North American providers are sitting on old infrastructure and transfer speeds/limits dismal compared to Europe and Asia.

The post I responded to made it sound like the wired providers can just pop out and swap few boxes; tadaaa.. triple bandwidth for everyone. But wireless, oh that's a finite resource that can't possibly be improved to support smartphones. From the consumers side, wired is just as much a shared finite resource unless anyone knows a provider allowing consumers to add there own taps into the infrastructure.

Google has become more and more evil ever since it's IPO. It's money hungry share holders only care about making more money. Human health, liberty, or happiness are all expendable according to these rules. This is the inherent evil of corporate structure.

Google is Evil. It's a corporation, beholden to stock holders who do not care about any moral or ethical concern. They just want money, and they will outright kill us all to get it.

Net neutrality CLEARLY is not a concern. The more neutral the net, the more competitors, the less control and money for Google. Hence, nix net neutrality.

We need massive reform and complete abolishment of corporations. Small family operated businesses should replace all the corporations. This would ensure human liberty, health, happiness, and a reasonable wage for all citizens.

On a personal note: FUCK YOU GOOGLE!!!!! AND TRIPLE FUCK YOU VERIZON!!!!!
